Hi Yasmine,

I new also so I definitely understand. Have you looked up in Real Estate investment meetup groups in your area or the local REIA? I have looked at a few but only been to one meeting. I suggest because you mention you are looking for someone to teach a newbie. I am looking for someone as well but my plan and you may want to consider it. If you can find anyone locally because of the competitive of the business, I am going to travel out of the area maybe even 2 hours away to meet with someone who will take the time to talk with me. Personally, I don't really have to have my hand held so if I only got a chance to do a face to face meeting every now and then and other times, follow up via email, text, skype or phone that would suffice.

Just a little food for thought,

Anyway, I wish you all the best and I plan to rent one of your vacation homes for the winter in the next year or so. I have to give you time to get things together  :)

 I totally agree, I am also willing to travel to learn. I mentioned that in my blog. Like you I am looking for a few meetings to start. I will also like to shadow someone to get a feel of being in the deal as it happens. Thanks for the insight it means a lot!  I will be signing up to my local BREIA meetings very soon.

Welcome. The medical profession should be the source of all the private $ you will need.

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com

Two Great reads, I bought both J. Scott The Book on Flipping Houses, The Book on Estimating ReHab Costs http://www.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook although you have experience these provide many pearls of wisdom.

Download BP’s newest book here some good due diligence in Chapter 10. Real Estate Rewind Starting over

Good Luck

Hello everyone, I am super excited to be here on BP!

I am Yasmine and I live in Miramar, FL. At this current moment I am doing my best to dive into REI without drowning. My immediate goals are to connect with local investors and learn as much as I can. I ran a contracting company a few years back and rehabbed quite a few homes for and out of country investor. I love the concept of rehabbing so I am pretty sure I will focus more on flipping once I am able to get capital raised.

I would really love to network, start some conversations and build relationships with those who are willing to teach a newbie. I know this market is pretty competitive and I understand it will be a challenge but that is more than okay with me! I am willing to use my background in rehabbing and remodeling as a building block. I work full time at the moment for the Cleveland Clinic in our brand new Cancer Center (pretty interesting place to work). Please feel free to reach out to me via phone, email, or BP messaging with any questions. 

Overall, like I said before I am excited to a part of BP, I am already addicted to the site. I literally have my headphones in listening to podcasts all day long.

Thanks for your time everyone!

This is a great example, although rehab went over budget the numbers were super! Thanks for sharing to newbies like myself. I am sure down the line, I will encounter surprises. It is good to know that in some cases it works out.
